Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large mixing bowl, toss 2 medium sweet potatoes cut into 1-inch cubes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Spread evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: Roast sweet potatoes in the oven for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in the mixing bowl, combine 4 salmon fillets with 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp smoked paprika, and 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, coating evenly.
  3. Step 3: After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from oven, push sweet potatoes to one side, and add 12 oz trimmed green beans tossed with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt to the other side.
  4. Step 4: Place the seasoned salmon fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet between the sweet potatoes and green beans. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 12-15 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with a fork and vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving all components warm.
